Taekwondo poomsae · Yudanja · 9th black-belt form
Ilyeo 일여
Oneness of mind and body
About the form
Ilyeo, oneness, is the ideal of the Silla monk Wonhyo: mind and body, spirit and matter, as one. It is the state reached after long technical and spiritual training, and the essence of Taekwondo. Its floor line traces 卍, an ancient Buddhist sign of good fortune that has marked temples across Asia for thousands of years. Here it commemorates the ideal of perfect selflessness.
Ilyeo is number 9 of the nine Yudanja forms, the black-belt curriculum of World Taekwondo. It follows Hansu.
